First of all, this table was very easy to assemble and it is made of grade a quality materials. It looks great and it is rocksolid. Probably one of the best values for your money on Amazon for a table like this. I use it both in the kitchen and out on the deck when preparing food for the grill. Very easy to clean and everyone that has been to the house has asked about it because of the quality. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this!
